100% of 90% of what Ron Paul says is on target. The rest 10% is the problem, unfortunately.
...Would you agree that it is possible to find alternatives to those problems and not dismiss the whole thing?
Reagan would agree with Paul.
From Zero Hedge.
This is important for supporting what Ron Paul says.
The Fed’s stress test contains no interest rate movement, just mortgage rates rising to 5% for 2012. They do have home price declines of 20% and 0% GDP growth for 2012, but no interest rate shocks? What kind of a stress test is this??
This stress test is NOT applied to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the FHA. Just more government protection of its own.

Both sides are wrong on the issue of isolationism!
Libertarians are wrong because without strong military power projection worldwide no one can be a super power, and we need a moral super power to keep order in the world. We do not want to go back to the time of ancient conquerors such as Tamar Lane, Chengiz Khan, Alexander of Greece, etc when any marauding force could plunder any lands. We do not want Saddam Hussein to plunder Kuwait, then Saudi Arabia. We do not want Iran to plunder Iraq and other oil producers.
However libertarians are also right in that a super power can not maintain that status by borrowing money to project military power. At the present time, we are broke and in debt to our eyeballs, soon to join Greece and Italy & Spain. So, at present time, we have no choice except to shrink our foreign military involvement. But we can never follow Ron Paul’s libertarian agenda permanently. That would guarantee a second class country.
Ron Paul would just be happy with Sharia law instead.
Hey, 90% sounds like a pretty good track record to me - that’s WAY above any other politician I know of!
“100% of 90% of what Ron Paul says is on target. The rest 10% is the problem, unfortunately.”
Interesting that so many Republicans can overlook the 40-50% that is wrong with the other candidates while decrying Paul. You can’t trust most of the other candidates to begin with. At least Paul will do what he says.
